Soapbox v\s Lounge

Short answer: Chris has everyone under control in the Lounge; in the Soapbox, the inmates are revolting. ;)

And Ilidiot is the stupid one, dropping the soap all the time. Makes me wonder if he does it on purpose!

Generally things that may offend somebody/anybody should be in soapbox, where it generally appears to be ok. Example : I don't believe in God/Allah/Baked Beans The arguments then ensue. Be sure to be able to back your views, and that is ok. Do not hit and run, that is do not disagree, then insult and refuse to explain why you are expressing a different view. Believe me, most people will disagree with your views, but will be prepared to listen/argue/respond sensibly if you explain why you hold them. Some do not do this and are widely hated for it! As for the lounge, it is a venerable thing, some members can get away with things that noobs cannot. Also, I can riff someone like Ravel,Mustafa Ismail Mustafa or Anna-Jayne Metcalfe because of knowing them well, even in the lounge. In the lounge, keep it polite, interesting, novel or amusing. (You will be told when they ain't!)

Yup. Isn't it nice when you find someone that knows that friendship and debate can go hand in hand?

Hey now don't go changing the rules. If people in here have to back up what they are saying the soapbox will be dead by morning..... As such, I proclaim myself King of the Moon.
All hail to the King. Now get back to your kingdom and let us know when it's safe to return there. :)

I am new to codeproject forums. I see there are two forums for general discussions Lounge and Soapbox. I read the description about both forums but still I am unclear about the difference between soapbox and lounge as I see some posts in the lounge which clearly belongs to soapbox, but still not sure.

I've found Soapbox threads to go longer than Longue threads in general. For instance, take your own post and see how long it went :)
